Unusual fatal accidental femoral vessel injury: A case report

A young male was accidentally injured when he was hit by a reversing school bus on the upper part of his left lower limb. A mobile phone which was kept in the left pocket of his trouser got crushed and sharp fragments of the mobile pierced his left inguinal region injuring femoral vessels. He bled profusely before he could be shifted to a hospital. In the hospital he was treated with wound exploration, stitching of vessels, transfusion of blood and local dressing. Throughout the period of hospitalization his condition remained critical, and he succumbed to multi organ failure due to septicemia consequent upon the injury sustained.
